"Sam?" Ken called out, searching for his brother. His eyebrows knit together as he called out again, raising his voice slightly.
He still received no reply but simply continued poking his head around corners and through doorways. He finally stumbled across his older brother's figure, hunched over various papers and school books, writing furiously.
Ken watched the pen zoom across the page for a few minutes before asking once again, "Sam?"
Without glancing from the page, Sam asked Ken what he wanted.
Ken shuffled his socked feet as he whispered nervously, "Wanna play with me?"
Sam didn't even respond.
"Pretty please, Sam?" Ken begged. "We never get to play together anymore… you're always so busy. And we don't even have to play little kid games; we can play big boy games that you like!"
"Like what?" came the monotone reply.
"Like some of your video games, or soccer or… or something."
Sam glanced up from his work, contemplating the offer. He pushed his glasses up before responding, "Go get the soccer ball, kiddo."
Ken beamed at him before rushing off to fetch the ball. Sam smiled at his little brother's childish antics prior to shoving aside his homework to go play.
